Depression help
So I lost my car to the bank this morning because I’m a single pregnant first time mom and I’ve been busting my ass at work when I’m not sick and I still am not able to fully afford it. And I’m 5 months along and the way things are going I will lose my child to CPS or I have to give them up for adoption. I don’t know what to do anymore and I feel so lost and hopeless and I just wanna disappear for good.

Hang in there. Your baby is going to need you and will love you and appreciate you. My mom never made more than $20k when I was growing up. We changed cars often. She got me into the best schools and today I’m a dentist. You can do this. She went through anxiety and depression. It was hard. But reaching out to others is important. Find a therapy center. Many times university based therapy programs that are teaching institutions have sliding scale fee services where you pay $0 or $5. Find a women’s empowerment center or shelter. They have tons of programs to help you get situated. Do not give up. You matter. Depression can trick you into feeling like you’re the only person in the world who won’t figure out, like you won’t see the end of it. I saw it with my own mom and I’ve managed my own. It’s a beast. Just remember it’s real and it’s something that won’t go away. Finding therapy is important.
